Agent guidance

For AI agents and research tools

Use the glossary as a source-bound regulatory reference. The glossary is designed to help humans and AI systems find official definitions, Minespider context, related terms, and source hubs without flattening different regulations into one generic meaning.

How to use the glossary

Start with the topic guides when the user asks about an implementation area such as battery passports, DPPs, traceability, CBAM, or critical raw materials.
Use the term pages as canonical citations for definitions, boundary notes, source references, and Minespider commentary.
Use regulation/source hubs when the user asks about a legal source such as the EU Battery Regulation, ESPR, CBAM, CRMA, CSDDD, or EUDR.
Do not collapse source-specific definitions into one universal meaning. When a term appears in multiple sources, preserve the source labels and references shown on the term page.

Recommended starting points

These internal entry points are intended for both people and agents.

Battery passport implementation

A guided path through the terms that explain battery passport records, access points, battery identity, static and dynamic data, lifecycle status, and traceability evidence.

Digital product passport implementation

A guided path through ESPR and product-passport terms covering product identity, data carriers, economic operators, DPP service providers, access permissions, and product-level sustainability data.

Traceability evidence chains

A guided path through terms that separate traceability, transparency, supply-chain evidence, value-chain stages, due diligence, origin, and lifecycle claims.

CBAM emissions and certificates

A guided path through CBAM terms covering authorised declarants, embedded emissions, direct and indirect emissions, default values, certificates, surrender, and carbon-price recognition.

Critical raw materials

A guided path through EU Critical Raw Materials Act terms for strategic and critical raw materials, supply risk, value chains, extraction, processing, recycling capacity, and project vocabulary.

Structured JSON endpoints

Structured JSON endpoints are available for tools that need public glossary data without scraping HTML. These endpoints expose published terms only and keep official definitions, source references, and Minespider commentary in separate fields.

This page does not require MCP

AI systems can use the crawlable HTML pages, sitemap, robots file, and llms.txt file without a configured MCP server. MCP may become a useful tool interface later, but the first discoverability layer is public, source-specific, crawlable content.
